I have never heard a Mays composition that I or anyone of my friends likes, and I have never heard him play an interesting solo. Seeing as how I enjoy almost everything Metheny has done without Mays, and almost nothing he has done with Mays, I have to conclude that Mays is the problem. Marcel Simon ..!mhuxr!mfs

Dan Gottlieb's (sp?) solos are great. He's probably one of the
best drummers around. I agree, May's stuff isn't too
interesting. All in all, Methany (group) is far more enjoyable live.
